How do You Convert Minutes per Mile to Miles per Hour?

7 minutes per mile divided into 60 = 8.57

.57 x 60= 34 seconds, so 7 minute miles is 8:34 per mile


min/mile............miles per hour

5..........................12
5:30.....................10.9
6..........................10
6:30.......................9.2
7..........................8.6
7:30.......................8.0
8..........................7.5
8:30.......................7.0
9..........................6.7
9:30.......................6.3
10.........................6.0

There is a handy chart at FunFitnessSolutions that also gives you an equivelent pace by incline on a treadmill.

Remember, you have no wind resistance on a treadmill so the energy cost is less than running outside. According to this chart, you need to elevate the treadmill to about 1% at running speeds in order to equal the same speed outside.
